A very beautiful and impressive part
Of Charley Reckly's funeral was the full
turnout of the fire department, of which
he was member. The procession was
headed by the engine heavily draped,
and then followed the hose reel, which
was drawn by members of the company
wearing white gloves. Mr.. Reckly was
also a member OF the A. o. wv. Society,
which was present and took part in the
funeral services.

ing room since it has been overhauled.
The walls have been elegantly painted
to represent paper, and the ceiling has
been prettily frescoed. The work was
done by Creter Bros, of Xenia, and this
kind of work in oillwhich very much
resembles fine paper is an original style
with them. The library room is surely
one of the handsomest rooms in town
and one of the contest reading rooms of
the country. The trustees deserve great
credit for the beautiful and attractive
room they have made for the public, and
all see it for themselves. On account of
the repairs Mr.. Duffey has not been CIV
ing out books for the past few weeks,
but will soon be again at his post on the
usual days to serve the public.
The principal streets of town have
been undergoing a thorough cleaning, and
now present neat, cleanly and healthy
appearance. Hillsboro has excellent
streets, and the only thing to make them
beautiful is to keep them thoroughly
cleaned. Since we have no sprinklers,
to scrape off the loose dust and debris is
almost equal to a thorough sprinkling

All the schools opened last week with
the exception of the Institute, which be.
gins its first annual session to-day. A
visit to the Union Schools revealed the
fact that Prof. Major had already effect
ed systematic organization, and every
one was assigned his place and "dowr

corps of teachers, and the new superin

his going, but has gone at once" thor
oughly into the work, and has infused
q spirit Of industry and enthusiasm into
the school from the start.
The College opened up with goodly
number Of students and, ss all know, al
excellent corps Of Instructors. This in
stitution is now arranged that one car

our foremost schools, and it is no longe
necessary to 60 away from home to OBJ

The Conservatory speaks for itself
and the Institute is well known as a,
institution Of refinement and polit,
learning. What an Athens of cultur'
and learning is the Model City! Ever
the atmosphere has classical perfum,
and the streets are paved with the class
ical remains of fossiliferous formation
of prehistoric times.
